DENoUNCING A SHEEP sTEALER.
A Reminiscence of General jobs Bates, Of
Hail County.
From the Gainesville Ca, Eagle.

From the Gainesville, Ca, Eagle.
Most of the older citizens of the county
doubtless remember their old representative,
General John Bates. General Bates repre-
sented the county OF Hall in the lower branch
of the general assembly of the state for
greater number OF years than any man that
ever held that responsible position. He was
sturdy old farmer and was successful to an ex-
tent that rendered him independent lie was
a consistent Baptist full of faith in his God
and love for his brethren. General Bates was
solid old time democrat-could not be bought
with money, nor would he play the sycophant
for the sake Of popularity, nor compromise the
truth in order 10 secure the vote of
any man. In 1885 General Bates made
his last canvass fer the Georgia leg
islature. He had never been defeated in any
previous canvass ana TO him and his party this
last one seemed to be the most important OF
any that had preceded it. The Whig party
determined 10 defeat Bates in his election IL
possible, and for this purpose they put Richard
Wiun in tie field against him. Mr.. VIM vas

Hon. William Youngblood, of this city, will
leave in a few days for Washington to attend
the meeting OF the national republican execu-

Hawley. Blaine's friends claim that he can
carry New \ ork next year, but | think Cleve-
land is stronger in that state than he was in
1891. Our best chance Of success, l think, viii
be to place New York man at the head of the

"Who is your choice?"
"Weli, Conking, Eyarts Hiscock and Levi

statesman in the country, and believe he

think our party leaders realize that the next
fight must be made in New York, and that
state must name the man for first or second
place ON the ticket"
Mr.. Youngblood thinks Sherman stands little
or no chance of the nomination, and that the
contest will be between Blaine and a New York
man, with Hawley good third. He said:
cleveland will be renominated by the DEM
ocrats, aud the question for our convention to
determine is, who can beat him in New York
/ think we win select New York rs the place
for holding The convention, and let the fight
open there, even If a man from that state is

That President CLEVELAND is deter
mined to do all in his power to keep the
national domain open for the settlement
of our people can be seen both from his
words aud actions Here is what he said
in his message to the Forty ninth Congress:
''The nations strength is in the people.
The nations prosperity is in their prosper
tty. The nations glory is in the equality
of her justice. Hence, as far as
practicable. the plan adopted in the dis
pOSal of the public lands should have in
view the original policy which encouraged
many purchasers OF those lands for homes
and discouraged the massing OF large
areas"
He said in conversation with New
York newspaper man a few days ago:
''When a real settler has legally taken
possession OF his one hundred and sixty acres
he ought to feel that the government is be-
hind him, and that if his rights are ever
inyad, d the government will stand by him
and see that no injustice is done.
| think it should be specially jealous OF
the rights of the farmers and the working
classes. l am of the people, /
believe in the people, and stand by them
and with them first, last and all the time. "
Much yet remains TO be done. But the
Democratic Administration has certainly
done noble work. Aud this work will 60
on. A fight for this principle shows that
the Democratic party is the party of the
people.
In keeping these lands open for settle
ment employment may be furnished for
thousands in tilling the soil instead OF
having to crowd into the cities and bring
down wages Dy the great competition,
Could woIkingmen secure any better re-
suits than the Democracy is achieving,
should they organize Labor party? They
would be working for the same principle
that the Democratic party is now working
for, and what would be the difference in the
result in regard to this matter should a
third party win?
But if we are tojudge the future by the
past, there would be good deal Of differ
ence in the result, should the victory be
given to the Republicans IN the next ma
tioual election. The people still remember
the penchant the Republican party had for
hundreds of millions of acres
of the finest land OF the wide domain

editorials and letters upon Mr.. LUCAS

on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
rasks especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with a. steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide of immi.

The climate of Southern Nebraska and
OF Kansas, free as 1t is from the lonp
